We sat outside across from another eatery, Im glad we chose this one. The service was wonderful, we had a nice bottle of wine, served bread and the best pasta in Venice. Believe me, we had a lot of pasta.
I had the Ravioli and it was perfect. I will go straight back here on my return visit.

Our tour guide told us this is the best place for seafood so we decided to try it out. They were extremely busy and service was good. There was a lot of food choices on the menu so we decided to try spit the seafood sample platter - a little bit of everything and it was very good. Worth a...

Quaint place down a street of off St Mark's square. I had the shrimp scampi which was extremely fresh and flavorful. My wife said her fried shrimp was one of the best ones ever. Service friendly and a wide selection in the menu.

We happened to find this restaurant on the first night of our stay, how lucky were we. We were greeted by friendly staff, eager to find us the best table in the house. The Bellini's were to die for and not over priced as they were in other restaurant's, only 6 Euro's compared with 18 to 24 Euro's in other...

We were assured by Slavic that the pasta was good so we decided to try it out. We sat outside as people walked by in the little lane not far from St Marks Square. Very happy with caprese salad, calamari and spinach and ricotta ravioli with sage butter. All fresh and tasty. We thought prices were reasonable for what we...

Had dinner there and ordered the seafood risotto. My wife had the plain chilli and garlic spaghetti. Cannot fault the meal as both dishes were delicious. The wait people were pleasant and the meal came out quick. Could even see the chef in action.
Only downside was that we wanted to sit indoors to avoid the smokers but unfortunately the...

We were starved after a tour of the Doge's Palace and St. Marks and violated one of our travel rules: don't eat near the tourist attractions. Ai Leonini's menu had some odd combos that looked like they were made to cater to tourists, rather than reflect local cuisine done right. Nothing looked good, and most things seemed pricey, so we...

So I love pizza! I loved their pizza too, super thin and crunchy. Price was reasonable enough, considering the location. 2 pizzas and 2 soft drinks was €41 euro.
Pizzas were large enough for dinner for one or share one for a nice lunch.
Tasty!

Neighbourhood Profile

San Marco

The most famous sestiere (district) in Venice has one of the world's most famous squares, St. Mark's (Piazza San Marco). Anchored on one end by the basilica, clustered around it are restaurants, museums, shops, orchestras playing in the square, pigeons, the grand pink Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale), the soaring campanile bell tower, an astrological clock tower, plus gorgeous cafes and restaurants like Florian and Quadri. Piazza San Marco is beloved by Venetians themselves. They book a table anytime, which offers a buffer from the fray. This grand outdoor drawing room attracts Venetians for a stroll too, especially late in the afternoon when the hoards of daytrippers thin out. It's simply a grand place to meet.
